Panel
Tyler Hulett PhD
ARCS scholar alum
Tyler earned his PhD from Oregon Health
& Science University this year in molecular microbiology and immunology. He works as an immune-oncologist at the Earle A. Chiles Research
Institute at Providence Portland Cancer Center. He hopes to learn how the immune system identifies and targets cancer antigens, so physicians can use these targets to monitor and adapt treatments and design cancer-treating vaccines.
Katja Kasimatis
ARCS scholar alum
PhD candidate in the Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Oregon
Katja studies the evolution of male reproductive
proteins to better understand the complexity of fertilization. Sexual reproduction is one of the most powerful organizing
principles in biology with profound consequences for the structure and function of individuals as well as the diversification of species.
